Observations

Posted by: mb () on Mon May 6 05:26:01 2002

We have played 6 LL games this season. As coach and batting practice pitcher the kids I have observed the following: the kids that have been taught to throw their hands at the ball have the least amount of power on the team. In testing swing speed they have the lowest batspeeds. Granted this is only a group of 12 kids. We have had limited practice time and it is a challenge to "un-teach the hands to the ball". They improve in Batting Practice and revert to old habits in the game.

Anti-Spambot Question:

This song is traditionally sung during the 7th inning stretch?
   All My Roudy Friends
   Take Me Out to the Ballgame
   I Wish I was in Dixie
   Hail to the Chief
